I have installed Openoffice.org3 on our server and it’s running in headless
mode. We use it with jodconverter to convert word and excell files.
It used to work fine, but one day it just stopped working and I really
don’t understand why.
When I run /usr/local/bin/java -jar
jodconverter-2.2.2/lib/jodconverter-cli-2.2.2.jar
on an .xls file to convert it to a .csv file it just gives me:
Exception in thread “main” com.artofsolving.jodconverter.openoffice.connection.OpenOfficeException: conversion failed: could not save output document; OOo errorCode: 3088
If I run jodconverter on a word file, it just gives me an empty
output file, or an other error code. That depends.
Our server have both openoffice 2.4 and 3.0 installed and neither
of the work now. (They both have the same problem) so it’s not
directly a problem with the openoffice install.
I even tried to create a new user on the server, and run openoffice as him
but that don’t work either.
So does anyone have any idear about what might be wrong, or how I
do get openoffice.org to produce some kind of log file/console outptu,
so I can se whats going on.
I use
/opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice.bin -headless -nofirststartwizard -accept=”socket,host=localhost,port=8100;urp;” &
Well, I ended up deleting both of my old openoffice installs and
installing a new version, and now it’s working again. I still don’t understand
why it stopped working but sometimes you just have to accept that a
reinstall is a solution.
